Hi Sean,

I am sure I am influenced by my (beloved) Outer Island!! It is also strong tracking and stiff to make turn.
With the Disko Bay the low dead rise and hard chine amid ship made a sweet leaning turn and when brought back even keeled it tracked nice and tight.
I wind up fixing a skeg on a good many of my kayaks just for that tight tracking.
This is a good kayak for me and my liking, but thank goodness we are not all the same, so I can keep building different kayaks and small boats.

Respectfully
Clayton Plunkett
